Vivobarefoot Men's EVO Lite Running Shoe,Grey/Yellow,40 EU/7.5 M US Review

3-MONTHS UPDATE:
I am still happy with these shoes for the most part, but discovered a couple of things that warranted a downgrade to 4 stars.
1) When going sockless, the tongue cut both of my feet raw at the bend on the top of each foot after about 5K. The tongue is not padded all the way, the very edge is just thin faux leather. I thought it would be soft enough to flex with the foot, but it rubbed small cuts each time I went sockless.
2) The shoe is not as breathable as my NB 730 and MT110. It is still better than most of the running shoes out there, but definitely not the best in this category. This is especially noticeable if you go sockless - the more "plasticy" inner material makes the moisture more noticeable against the skin compared to soft cloth-like liner of 730 and 110.
3) The shoe FEELS heavy and slow. I know it is not, it's lighter than the majority of running shoes out there, but it does not inspire fast running (not sure how else to describe it).
So as I said above I am still pretty happy and use them regularly in my rotation. I consider these to be excellent trainers, especially without the insoles - the ground feel is fantastic, but would never use them even in a C-race.

ORIGINAL REVIEW:
Since shoe preferences are highly subjective let me first outline what I was looking for in order to explain where my 5 stars came from:
1) 4mm or less (preferably 0mm) heel-to-toe drop;
2) < 8 oz. weight
3) very breathable. Some people complain about shoes having so much mesh they get wet in the rain. I want my shoes not to RETAIN water and dry quickly. Any kind of waterproofing also means slower evaporation of your own sweat.
4) no arch support
5) an outsole thread that works on the variety of terrains and surfaces.

There are a few models now that have 1-4, but these in my view nail #5. I usually run 5-10K on asphalt. I also have an option of a hard-packed gravel trail 1 mile away from my house. I also have real woods with roots, scree and lots of switchbacks about 4 miles away. So I wanted a shoe that could take me from my door step through all of those conditions.

I use New Balance M730 for road and NB MT110 for real trails - M730's sole is too smooth for anything but pavement, MT110 is too hard and knobby for roads. Plus both of those are 4mm heel-to-toe.

I've tried NB MR00 (super comfortable, but not enough traction), MT00 (too plastic, uncomfortable upper), Brooks PureGrit (hot, MAJOR traction issues), Skechers GoBionic (not very breathable, pick up large rocks and sticks), Merrell Trail Glove 2 (OK, but materials are not as good and comfortable as MR00) and Saucony Hattori LC (poor traction).

EVOs have very comfortable, almost plush upper on par with NB MR00 and the thread of the outsole is absolutely perfect for the mix of conditions described above. I would not run really technical trails in them but they roll very nicely on everything else.
